Capcom’s next big IP,Exoprimal, is a team-based dinosaur survival title pitting players in high-tech suits against some of the most ferocious prehistoric monsters ever. Players will team up with four other gamers to battle an array of dinos while competing against another squad to complete the objectives first. With a multitude of different game modes in each match’s final round, the game offers plenty of variety.

One crucial component of the game that isn’t exactly clear inExoprimalis how players are able to achieve high totals in the title’s war games. While there isn’t a post-match breakdown showing Exopilots how they accumulated their total score, there are a few hints that may help to achieve the elusive MVP spot.
Take Note of Leviathan’s Objectives
The initial rounds ofExoprimal’s war games are fairly consistent and require that players kill the indicated number of dinosaurs for each type presented. In the early rounds, speed is of the essence as getting to the final round first cangive teams a huge advantageand be in favor of the victory. Before the final round, focus on amassing the kill count needed to move on, and don’t get too caught up fighting the smaller dinos if it is taking away the attention needed to beat any larger, more formidable beasts that halt the team’s progress.
While it is easy enough to rack up a decent total in the early stages, the final round is where the money is. The opportunity to amass huge totals will depend largely on the game Leviathan chooses for the teams. Focus on what the game is, and what objectives need to be completed, then build a game strategy around having a big influence on the completion of the challenge. If it is theOmega Hammer challenge, then players should try and grab the hammer themself, so they can score big points for destroying the objectives. If it is the Data Key challenge, stay within escort distance of the cube and pick off hostile dinos and Exosuits with ranged-based attacks to build up a healthy point total.
Choose the Right Exosuit For the Task Ahead
Different objectives require different sets of skills, so choosing the right Exosuit can be a real difference-maker when it comes to achieving a high score. For the earlier rounds, when the focus is on the Dinosaur Cull, choosing an Exosuit that players feel most comfortable and effective in is their best bet. However, as the final round is revealed, prepare for the possibility of making a quick change in wardrobe.
Some game modes will put certain Exosuits at a disadvantage, depending on the challenge’s objectives. A good example of this is the Data Key challenge, which tasks players with keeping in proximity to the data cube to enable its progression to the end zone. This game mode will favor Exosuits with long-range attacks or the ability to block incoming damage to the cube but will put melee-based choices at a disadvantage.

For players using the likes of Zephyr or Murasame, who rely on being caught in the heat of battle, this Data Key mode may prove tough to rack up a big score as players will need to choose between the data cube and launching an offensive ahead of the group. However, Zephyr andMurasame may be the perfect optionfor the Omega Hammer challenge, which requires charging head-first into combat, so picking the right Exosuit is important for getting the best possible score.
Get to Know the Medals and How to Earn Them
While there isn’t a clear breakdown of points distributions in the post-match summary inExoprimal, players can get an understanding of how well they performed according to the medals they earned, how many points they are worth, and how rare the medal is. The medal tally will show players how the medals were earned, which can give an insight into what to look out for in future matches.
Medals are separated by rarity according to their color, much like the card players will earninside the war chests. To accumulate a high score, it would be ideal to take note in particular which rare medals were obtained, so the feat can be repeated in future battles.
Play to Your Exosuit’s Strengths
WhileExoprimalonly has three classes of Exosuit, the options within each class are distinctly different and enable players to serve the class' purpose with completely different strategies.No two Exosuits are the same, making the game a very diverse title to suit a multitude of play styles. With this said, the best strategy for scoring maximum points is for the player to get familiar with a suit’s abilities and use them all to their advantage. Understanding how a particular ability works and how best to time and apply them in battle can make a huge difference, and players will be rewarded with medals for the effective use of an Exosuit’s powers.
Some great examples are the Roadblock and Krieger, who both have sturdy shield abilities. These abilities will help generate quick and easy points by calculating how much damage is being blocked. Understanding how the points are calculated in this instance will encourage players to use these abilities in situations where a large swarm of smaller dinosaurs are invading or when a heavy hitter is charging toward the team.
Inflict Pain on the Big Dinos
One of the easiest ways to score points inExoprimal’s war games is to dispatchthe numerous dinosaur threatsin quick succession. However, it is important to note that some scalps are worth far more than others. If players want to achieve a high score, they should avoid focussing on the Raptors and other smaller dinosaurs, as points are only awarded for killing a large quantity of them. The larger dino threats, on the other hand, are a walking opportunity to score big.

Any ofthe medium and large dinosaurtypes inExoprimalwill lead to big scores due to the fact that they are far harder to kill. It is likely in many of the big dino encounters that they will be accompanied by smaller counterparts, but focusing a player’s attack on the big ones will result in big scores. The points allocated to a player will depend largely on how much damage is inflicted and how much of an impact the player has on their death. Bonus points are also awarded for putting dinosaurs in certain conditions, such as setting them on fire with explosives.
How to Check Your Score During a Match
Another facet that is not entirely clear in Exoprimal is where to check player scores in the middle of a match. While it is not obvious, it is easy to find once players find the correct button input. To check the team’s scoring progress, players will need to input the following button:
